Released: Sep 7 2006 Guatemala  | Production and Consumption   GT6010 Highlight: Since the tariff reduction for poultry imports took effect in 2001, U.S. exports to Guatemala have increased on average 10% each year, reaching their highest value ever in 2005 at $44.8 million. Within CAFTA, chicken leg quarters were assigned a 21,810 MT tariff rate quota with a maximum 164.4% out-of-quota tariff. However, Guatemala announced it will apply only a 15% duty on out of quota product. For the first two years of CAFTA, Guatemala will accept the entire TRQ amount. Subsequently, Guatemala's TRQ amount will decline as the amount for other CAFTA countries increases. U.S. poultry exports to Guatemala in 2007 are forecast to maintain a constant 10% increase.View the Acrobat version | View/Download the MS Word version   Click this icon to get Acrobat Reader >> Go to the Attache Report Search Engine
